Abstract

Treatment of the trinuclear complex trans-[Pt(CN) 2{CNFe(dppe)Cp} 2] with Cp(dppe)Fe(MeCN)Br or Cp(PPh 3) 2RuCl leads to the tetranuclear complexes [Pt(CN){CNFe(dppe)Cp} 3](SbF 6) ( 3) and [Pt(CN){CNFe(dppe)Cp} 2{CNRu(PPh 3) 2Cp}](SbF 6) ( 4), containing a T-shaped Pt(CNFe) 3 or Pt(CNFe) 2(CNRu) skeleton. The electronic communication between the iron and/or ruthenium centers in these complexes was probed by cyclic voltammetry and UV–vis/NIR spectroscopy. Just like in the corresponding trinuclear Pt(CNM) 2 complexes, there is electronic interaction along the linear MCN chains containing trans-configured platinum, but not along the bent chains containing cis-configured platinum.
